The Importance of Feeling Loved

The Leapfrog Learning Center is the best preschool in America because we know what your child needs.

The most important single thing parents can do for their children is to make them feel loved. You should tell them that you love them often and hug them every time you think of it. They may squirm and pull away- but deep down inside, they need this reinforcement. It should always be the last thing you tell them when you put them down to go to sleep and, if you ever go into their bedroom at night to check on them (even though you know they are sleeping), you should whisper it to them again. Young children can never hear this message too often.

The sense of security that comes from feeling loved and valued is the foundation for building the self-confidence and the positive self-image that is essential for successful socialization. Words are important but they are meaningless if they are not reinforced by actions. The best way to demonstrate that you love your children is to give them your time. Play with them. Find out what they want to do, then help them be good at it. Show them the things that you have fun with. Introduce them to the world. It doesn’t really matter what you do together as long you are interactive and your child knows you enjoy being with him. Being ignored can sometimes be more painful than physical abuse.
